This is something she needs to discuss with her Dr.
To collect eggs for preservation, hormone treatment is often (usually) required. This can make some cancers grow and spread faster. There is no point in preserving eggs if it costs her life.
If she tells her Dr what she wants they will do their best to help, it just may not be feasible.
